There are definitely some things it changed that improved, but it somehow both reinforced the insurance system while simultaneously making an insurance system less possible by making it easier for healthy people to only get insurance when they needed it driving costs up. I agree an insurance system doesn't work for health care, but it isn't even a good attempt at making one --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg |

masterplum 01/11/22 7:08:48 AM #479 | Unsurprisingly, I totally agree. Im back to eating out twice a week. Were at the two year mark and vaccines show to massively decrease risk of death. Im not going to take precautions that are going to save unvaccinated lives from themselves, and Im not going to avoid doing things I want to do for something so low risk to vaccinated people.

masterplum 01/08/22 9:17:28 AM #461 | Insurance is a scam, but after working in healthcare Im convinced healthcare prices are a bigger issue. we would set our billing cost obscenely high because we knew insurances would just lower the price they paid to their maximum paid amount and we didnt want to leave money on the table.

For me, most of the games in this category either got worse over time (I liked Kentucky Route Zero's first two episodes) or were quite short (Mega Man 7 probably took me ~3 hours). This pretty much Skyward sword had so much going for it but the issues that started small like pop-ups for every material resetting on game load got more and more annoying over time. Skyward sword would have been phenomenal at 25 hours, but the padding made me hate it over time --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg |

The issue is you can use this logic for any societal ill. Immigration wouldn't be an issue if we had the military patrolling the border Drugs wouldn't be an issue if we had the military patrolling the streets The whole point of the 4th amendment was we didn't like the military just chilling out with us all of the time. Not to mention the whole issue of shutting down all of society for 2 weeks is kind of problematic if you still want food supply chains to work --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg |

Topic | So, thinking of getting a divorce. |
masterplum 12/28/21 1:52:55 PM #10 | I've been divorced. It really colored my expectations of what marriage should be. I think my first marriage was the happy bubbly kind and my second resembles closer to a crusader kings 3 marriage than a modern day one. Hell, we aren't even legally married because it would cost 3 grand a year in taxes and we agree the government acknowledging to our marriage isn't worth 3 grand a year. We do have a contract however. The point is, if you are leaving your marriage because it isn't fun any more you will never be happy because the sparks always leave after a couple years. If you are leaving because your spouse is stopping you from fulfilling your life goals that could be a valid reason, but I would try to talk that through first --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg |

masterplum 12/26/21 12:46:30 PM #13 | HanOfTheNekos posted... What does Royal add? The biggest thing is an additional 20 hour chapter after the main game, but it is extremely obvious where that is so the game feels complete then just.... keeps going. From an RPG perspective I think this is the worst offender because their isn't any rebalancing so you easily can be pretty much maxed out at that point because you got yourself ready for the final boss of the original game which makes the extra content not a fun game to play any more. That was really my biggest issue. Additionally it adds in other random scenes and content which range from mildly detracting to fine, but in a 100 hour game where its already a bit too bloated I didn't think that improved the experience. --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdWiElvIQAAQpBt.jpg |
